Cherry Burton Arts have been invited to host a show by world famous Zimbabwe group BLACK UMFOLOSI at ST MICHAEL’S CHURCH, CHERRY BURTON, near Beverley on WEDNESDAY 15 JULY at 7.30pm. The acapella and dance group will be touring the UK and have asked that Cherry Burton be included in the routing- they so enjoyed the experience when they performed in the village on a previous tour.
Black Umfolosi performances are inspired by the traditional song and dance of their native southern Africa, with a beauty and enthusiasm that is unrivalled. Their shows are energy driven and completely engaging, mixing a great gentleness of spirit and song with an exuberance in dance. Their trademark harmonies mixed with intricate rhythms, clicking and clapping are highlighted during their brilliantly choreographed shows with a full range of movements from subtle to vibrant stomping and leaping!
Cherry Burton Arts organiser Martin Peirson added “Using the glorious acoustics of St Michael’s church in Cherry Burton, this is going to be quite an experience-we are very lucky to be offered this show again. I’ve seen them lots of times and they radiate a feel-good factor each time that gets to everyone in the room no matter what age – it’s difficult to describe. They make amazing sounds, have songs that are instantly likeable and have some cool dance moves-what more could you ask for!”
The church café will be open for refreshments.
Tickets (£15) are available in advance from www.WeGotTickets.com (Cherry Burton Arts) Beverley Tourist Information & Costcutter Cherry Burton.
